Our students have commenced the year well and appear to be developing positive learning partnerships with their teachers. All students are reminded that they have responsibilities as learners at Penola Catholic College. The ideal learner is organised, responsible, demonstrates a great work ethic and approaches their studies with enthusiasm. By now students should have all items required to support their learning in the classroom and at home. It is essential that all necessary devices, texts and stationery items are brought to each lesson. This will aid in developing learning skills along with the support from our diligent and dedicated teaching staff.
Parents, we do ask that you:
- Regularly view your child’s assessment data via MyPenola.
- Discuss your child’s progress in each subject
- Provide a space that is conducive to study at home
- Attend Parent Teacher Student Progress Meetings
NB: The Term 1 PTSPMs are scheduled for March 10 (Broadmeadows), March 16 (Glenroy) and April 7 (Broadmeadows and Glenroy). Further details will be published in due course.
There are many opportunities for students to access support or resources. These include: the ERC, Maths Club lunchtime sessions, tutoring and catching up with teachers individually just to name a few. Please encourage your son/daughter to avail themselves of these opportunities.
Please do not hesitate to contact your child’s subject teacher or year level co-ordinator should you have any concerns or queries.
